A man has been handed a Criminal Behaviour Order banning him from entering Hucknall for five years due to 'ongoing harassment' towards residents of the town including through aggressive begging.

Peter Bailey, aged 38, was given the CBO earlier this month, on Friday 9 June.

The CBO prevents Mr Bailey from entering Hucknall for five years unless he has the permission of probation or his supervisor.

A statement posted on Ashfield Police's Facebook page said: "The Hucknall NPT sought a CBO due to ongoing harassment by Bailey towards residence [sic] both in their homes and within the community including aggressive begging. Bailey has been on remand for a number of offences but should in the future he return to Hucknall the request to residents would be to phone any sightings within Hucknall to the police control room where we can liaise with town centre CCTV to evidence any breaches thereby allowing us to arrest and place Bailey before the courts without residents having to personally provide evidence."
